Family Names Framed Print
My name is Angie and my blog home is Knick of Time, where I share my addiction to old stuff…and lots of it!With Christmas just days away,
I came to share this Family Names Framed Print, which is an easy and inexpensive project that makes a thoughtful gift which you can whip up quickly.
For this project, you’ll need:
a frame, kraft card stock paper, some shipping twine and adhesive scrapbooking letters – all inexpensive if you use discount coupons at Hobby Lobby.
Family Names Framed Print I used Word to type out all the names in the family and added “Our Family” in the beginning, and the word, “Family” before each repeat of the family names. I also included the words, “Grandparents, Children and Grandchildren”, but you can select anything appropriate, and include pet names if desired. Play around with the font size and style until you find one that’s pleasing and justify the text so that the left and right margins are aligned.

I could have created my own little pennants, but I loved these cute little stickers I found, so I just stuck them to a length of shipping twine.

Decide how you want it to drape across your page, then stick down firmly.  Leave just a little excess twine on the sides to wrap behind the paper and tape on the backside, the put in your frame. That’s it – you are DONE!

It is SOOO easy and you can make this project for under $15 – even less if you buy a frame at a thrift store.  You’ll probably have enough stickers
to make several of these – especially if you select words other than “Family” for some of your gifts. You could use the family’s last name instead,
or use words like, “Grandchildren” and have a list of just grandchildren’s names.

I made several of these as gifts, so here’s two other variations I made.

I used puffy style sticker letters for this one.

If you have a steady hand, and don’t want the expense of buying stickers, you could also print your word out, tape it to the front of the glass for your pattern, then paint the letters on the inside of the glass (not the outside where it will get rubbed off when cleaned).
